The DMiss Program Structure

The DMiss is a professional doctoral degree designed to equip leaders and missions practitioners to participate in cross-cultural ministry with greater competency and effectiveness. It is a mostly online program that allows students to adapt and apply their research within their own cross-cultural ministry settings. Students are required to attend only three on-campus seminars for one week each. These are offered during the months of January and May.

Seminars

The following seminars are required for all students in the DMiss program. A total of 45 credit hours is required for graduation. Seminars are offered one at a time on a two-year cycle (i.e., each seminar is offered once every two years). There are three hybrid seminars (both online and on-campus) and three fully online seminars. The remaining 12 credits come from the prospectus and dissertation.
